V. 0., England, have invented a Fastening sequence of the now acting spring 9, the ins Device for Hair-Combs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hair combs and more particularly to such kinds of combs as are used for hair ornaments, made of horn, celluloid, and the like.

Some of the hair combs as mentioned above hitherto used, have the great drawl back, that the same do not keep in the hair, l but fall out and are consequently lost. R

and thus the comb is perfectly secured from being lost.

In order to prevent the hair being caught in any part of the fastener, and more particularly from the pressure loops 5, the latter are placed perfectly tight against the part 2. Also the comb may consist of only one piece, i. c. the cover plate 1, as used in the construction as hereinbefore described, can be omitted, and instead of this, the respective recess for the reception of the wire is worked in the whole comb piece.
